The above bug closed as wontfix in Debian, but seems fixed in Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/379233 Why it is important to make "cp --no-preserve=mode" work? Given: 1. Debian 7.7 2. Alien mounted FS system where all files are executable 3. cp --no-preserve=mode /alien/inventory /tmp/ Expected: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 456 Dec 1 20:20 inventory Actual: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 456 Dec 1 20:20 inventory The reasons why it is important are listed in Ubuntu bug. In my case I am setting up environment with Ansible, which supports executable inventory files, but this file is not. -- anatoly t. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
